Yes, you can complete internships abroad while studying. Many universities offer study abroad programs that integrate internships, allowing students to work alongside their academic studies.

Yes, obtaining special health insurance is important when planning an internship abroad. Standard health insurance policies may not cover medical expenses in another country, so it’s crucial to secure appropriate international health insurance.

This type of coverage ensures you have access to medical care while overseas, protecting you from potentially high out-of-pocket costs due to illness or injury.

Compensation is decided at the discretion of your internship company. This can vary from completely unpaid, to stipends, or in some cases even full pay. However we cannot guarantee any compensation on behalf of internship companies.

Please note, for those taking the program overseas, it can often be the case that the visa restrictions in some countries (including certain visas in Japan and Korea) do not allow you to earn money while in the country.

To apply for our program, you need to complete and submit the Application Form—it only takes a few minutes.

If your application meets our criteria, we will then schedule an interview (usually via phone or video call) to understand your goals in more detail. We aim to let you know if you have been accepted onto the program within the following few days.

The program components are mostly similar in all locations. It’s really about understanding where interests you most and what environment would be most suitable for you.
